Hi,
I've been out of town and not posting, but I have managed to finish painting an unit of Prussian Landwehr, for Black Powder. I thought so, until I noticed I only painted 20, despite the book telling you to use 24 models for a regular size unit. I will have to paint four more, which really pooped on my sense of accomplishment.
There are only three poses for the plastic Warlord models. I varied the trouser and hair colors so no two models are the same and it's harder to tell that there are so few poses.
The flag came out awful. I got lazy and cut the one off the brochure in the box and while I was molding it the ink came off onto my fingers. I'm not redoing it, as I don't believe the Landwehr were authorized such frivolities and if they don't like it they can make their own.
Here's the troops looking terrible before "dipping" and touch up.
Here's a close up of the racoon eyes I had to fix, when learned that I shouldn't paint eyes while drinking heavily.
I've actually been painting tons of other stuff and hope to post a unit of Jaegers soon.
